Here you can find all the possible opportunities to earn points in HOL, except from classes. We will provide you links and precise instructions all you have to do is follow them and not be lazy.

Only Gryffindor staff can post in this thread!

The first two basic opportunities are 'How I got into Harry Potter' and 'Trading Card'. If you go to your HOL profile you can see this two opportunities waiting for you. You can earn up to 10 points for doing each of them. That's a good way to start your adventure in HOL.

There's lots of current books to work on (and all sorts of types!), and even if you don't decide to write a chapter they often make a good read!

Description: Do you enjoy logic puzzles? If so, this is the activity for you! Complete 12 logic puzzles to show your brains and abilities in logic. YOU MAY ONLY WORK ALONE THOUGH. DO NOT WORK WITH ANYONE ELSE FOR PENALTY OF FORFEITING YOUR POINTS.

Description: There's a rumor of a Monster-Maker machine arriving at your neighborhood, and naturally curious to its process, you go out of your house to take a look. Only to find it delivered on your doorstep. So the question is, if you were mistakenly given a Monster-Maker machine, what would you do with it? Would you bring the machine in and start churning out mummies or vampires or ghouls or zombies? Would you mix up the settings and come up with a mashup of monsters? What happens when you finish creating the monster? What then?

Description: Show your support and appreciation for the staff! It can be a specific professor or prefect, or for all the professors and prefects in your house. JPs are NOT allowed for this project though. (Sorry JPs! <3333) I think it would be awesome if we had a lot of Gryffindor submissions.... but you are welcome to do any staff member on HOL, as long as they are a professor or prefect.
